Your home away from home
In the heart of the Bordeaux countryside
Bonjour & Welcome
A restored 18th-century presbytery
We're Wayne & David, and along with our dogs Sherlock and Mrs Hudson, we invite you to our guesthouse — your home away from home for grown-ups who want to truly switch off, at their own pace — dogs very much included.
Our home is a restored 18th-century presbytery, set in the heart of the Bordeaux countryside.
Just 30 minutes from Bergerac and 1 hour from Bordeaux, we're surrounded by vineyards, medieval villages, and the slow rhythm of rural life.
This is our home, and we're delighted to share it with you.
Tranquil & Sustainable
Where you slow down
More than somewhere to stay — it's where you slow down. Here you'll find space to breathe, room to roam, and time to truly unwind.
Explore medieval villages, sip wine in Saint-Émilion, or nap beneath our 300-year-old cedar trees — the kind of peace and privacy that only a grown-up place can offer.
We care deeply about sustainable travel. From solar power to composting, filtered water and reusable bottles, we keep things simple and low-impact.
Here, sustainability isn't a slogan — it's how we live.
Health & Wellbeing
Move, swim, or simply exhale
Whether you want to move, swim, or simply exhale — we've created spaces to help you recharge.
Yoga studioWe practice this every day. You're welcome to join us.
Paws & Wagging Tails
Dog inclusive, not dog tolerant
A lot of places are dog friendly. What they usually mean is dog tolerant.
We mean something else entirely. Except for the pool, your dog goes where you go — the gardens, the terrace, and yes, your bedroom.
Sherlock & Mrs Hudson, our resident Airedales, both have their own way of welcoming you. Sherlock, our gentle giant, will quietly become your best friend — no doubt sitting on your lap. Whereas Mrs Hudson will want to play immediately!
Great walks start from your bedroom door, and dogs always stay free.
We're dog inclusive — there's a difference.
Peaceful Nights
Restoration begins with a comfortable night's sleep
We have five guest rooms and one apartment, each offering you a truly restful night's sleep — with super king-size beds (or twins, if you prefer), ensuite bathrooms, and doors that open onto private terraces.
The apartment offers a little more room to stretch out, with two terraces — one for sunrise, one for sunset — overlooking the orchard and our pool.
You'll sleep in organic cotton bed linen, with soft organic towels and eco-friendly toiletries waiting in the bathroom.
